Beschreibung

Douglas Kellner's Re-Visioning Education: Cultural Studies, Critical Media and Digital Literacies, and Democracy provides a comprehensive account of his critical theory of education that combines his work in philosophy of education, cultural studies, and media and digital literacies aimed at a critical theory of education and radical pedagogy for the 21st Century. Kellner also engages the battle for Higher Education in the contemporary moment, taking on rightwing attacks on education, and defending progressive concepts of education and democracy advocated by John Dewey and his pragmatist cohort, Paulo Freire and his movement of critical pedagogy, and Herbert Marcuse who calls for a radical critique and transformation of education in the contemporary era. Clearly written and documented for teachers, students, and citizens Kellner provides discussion of key issues challenging education today and calls for transformation of education to provide more democratic, inclusive, equalitarian, and culturally relevant education for the future.
